Hello -- I'm Richard D. Sontheimer, MD. I am currently a full-time Professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. During my four-decade academic medical career I have had a subspecialty interest in how the skin is affected in systemic autoimmune disorders, especially the autoimmune connective tissue disorders including lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, morphea/systemic sclerosis and vasculitis. Earlier in my career, I was involved in NIH-funded, patient-oriented translational clinical research relating to the etiopathogenesis of the skin manifestations of lupus erythematosus. More recently, I have been focused on clinical care and postgraduate teaching in this area of dermatology and rheumatology. More detailed information concerning my academic medical career can be found at my Doximetry webpage. Rsonthei (talk) 18:37, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
